[Albion] Maupay Dropped

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Maybe he's gone on strike as he wants...more pay?

Anyone know where I left my coat?

Or perhaps he is in a bit of a sulk, wandering around without any real purpose or direction? Perhaps Neal’s Mopey......

In order of liklihood

1 - Injury
2 - resting for friday
3 - covid
4 - dressing room bust up
5 - tactical

Whatever, we'll be told it's a minor knock and he'll be back soon

You missed one:

6 - disciplinary. I reckon he might have done something daft eg broke covid rules, and he was left out for disciplinary reasons, but the club is keeping it in-house and saying its tactical. We'll see him Friday.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Have to wonder with NO striker in the starting XI ?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Perhaps Maupay just needed to learn that there are consequences if you keep missing chances. And if Potter's psychology is as good as we've been told, NM will be busting to prove himself against Burnley on Friday if selected.

Connolly would have played if that was the case. I'm perhaps more interested why he wasn't in the squad either. I think they've been two naughty boys and the club has put them in the sin bin for a week.

Very strange if he was dropped altogether from the squad because of the last 2 games as Trossard was worse than him in those matches. Must be more to it.

If he broke CV-19 rules, we won’t necessarily see him Friday

I think if it was covid related they would have just said? Or said he had a slight knock or something.

I’m pretty sure that the club don’t comment on players who test positive.

This . . .or he got criticised for WBA performance and threw his toys out of the pram . . . .

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

I don't get the mystery?

He's been crap for a couple of games and so he gets dropped. No conspiracy.

We now have enough alternatives to leave him out and give him a kick up the arse.

Good management.

He and Connolly might be isolating for 14 days? Who knows?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Both rehearsing for their parts in the club Pantomime

I don't know what the rules are, so this is speculation but I would assume the club have to report positve covid tests. Maybe not naming the individuals involved, but at least that they've had cases. I would actually think given the current situation it would actually be pretty reckless not to report it.

Exactly

This, all day long. Pleased Potter is prepared to make such decisions and that no-one is above being dropped.

Apparently Ryan dropped as he has played a lot of football over the last three years.

It’s a breather for Maty, who has played a lot of football over the last two or three years and I’m looking forward to seeing Rob.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

To finish the game with Burn up front is baffling.

Also - on Monday we were told an hour from Lallana at home to WBA was pre-planned. So how come he's suddenly available to do 90 away at Spurs when we have a massive home game on Friday evening?

Very odd.

Almost certainly not Covid related - the club couldn't call it "tactical" if it was.

It doesn't explain it at all. It's a lazy journalist typing out the pre game interview everyone who did PPV or managed to hook into the Sky coverage heard, word for word. Doesn't mention Maupay in any way - in fact dodges the question. Again, if it was Covid related that would have been the point at which he could have said so.
